According to multiple outlets in the UK, Arsene Wenger‘s long-awaited contract as Arsenal manager has finally be signed.

Hallelujah!

Wenger, 64, is said to have put pen to paper on a three-year deal which both the BBC and Sky Sports are confirming. However no official word has yet come from the North London club where Wenger has been in charge since September 1996, winning eight major titles so far.

If these reports are true, it brings to an end almost an entire year of talk surrounding Wenger’s contract and will finally stop the constant badgering the Frenchman receives regarding his new deal during every single press conference he performs.

After sealing the clubs first piece of silverware in nine years by collecting the FA Cup at the end of an up and down 2013-14 campaign, Wenger could have done two things: call it quits or start an entire new rebuild.

It seems like Wenger has opted for the latter as his deal will be signed on Saturday, according to the reports, with the Frenchman wanting everything sorted out before he jets off to the World Cup in Brazil.

Guiding Arsenal to 17 consecutive UEFA Champions League appearances is an incredible achievement, especially after his transfer kitty diminished considerably while the club paid off money they owed on their new Emirates Stadium instead and the former Monaco coach had to get creative with transfers. However Wenger could now be handed more cash in the upcoming transfer window, as Arsenal led the way until January last season but then limped towards the finishing line and eventually secured fourth spot.

More news on this as and when it becomes official. However after being in Wenger’s post-match press conference following the FA Cup final win, I can confirm he was very relaxed and confident that this deal was going to be signed.

Looks like Arsenal’s boss is sticking around into his mid-60’s. At least.
